The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was established in 1958 to "boldly expand frontiers in air and space." In 1961, President John F. Kennedy put forth an incredible challenge to land a man on the moon within the next 10 years. Eight years later – on July 20, 1969 – Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the lunar surface. His unforgettable words “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” ushered in a new era of exploration and achievement.

Designed by AMERICAN MINT to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of NASA, the Apollo 11 commemorative gold-plated medallion is specially minted with 24k gold-plated accents. This tribute to American ingenuity and perseverance is strictly limited to only 9,999 complete collections worldwide.
